Can you match the literary quote with the American author who wrote it? Our librarians selected these memorable lines to put your skills to the test.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
"Once you've become a part of this particular patch, you'll never love another. Like loving a woman with a broken nose, you may well find lovelier lovelies, but never a lovely so real."
"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
"When I discover who I am, I'll be free."
"When you have children, you're obligated to live."
"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."
"Chance is the first step you take, luck is what comes afterward."
"You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget."
"Don't ever think I fell for you, or fell over you. I didn't fall in love, I rose in it."
"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places."
“I look out the window, and I see the lights and the skyline and the people on the street rushing around looking for action, love and the world’s greatest chocolate chip cookie, and my heart does a little dance."
“There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.”
"Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone."
“If you let people into your life a little bit, they can be pretty damn amazing.”
“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.”
